Can't see timing marker

OK, I have a motor that I have never been able to time with a light because the damper sets so far back under the water pump that I cannot see the marker. I can see the damper from the bottom, so I put marks on it at 10, 18 and 20 deg BTDC. To make matters worse, the radiator angles back from the top and prevents me from getting any kind of clear view. I tried a mirror on an extension, even that didn't seem to help. This motor has about 20k miles on it, all timed by ear. Should I just leave well enough alone?
